Gojo Kaigetsu's chopsticks paused mid-air, a sigh escaping his lips.
Minato was, after all, one of the nicest guys in the shinobi world.
There was another objective he hadn't mentioned. "Adaptability" also contained a hidden agenda of his.
That was to weaken the Third Hokage's influence in Konoha and the wider shinobi world. Weakening Hiruzen Sarutobi's influence meant indirectly weakening the Konoha Elders, the "F4" group backing him, and increasing the prosperity of Konoha's political landscape.
This was entirely beneficial for Konoha.
While replacing him with Danzo could also achieve the goal of making the Four Great Nations' ninjas pursue "freedom of speech"... it wouldn't fulfill the other part of the plan.
Danzo was already known as the "Darkness of the Shinobi World." Weakening him further wouldn't change much!
He might even shift the blame onto the Mito clan...
Damn Danzo!
Gojo Kaigetsu cursed him again in his mind:
"Alright, fine. You're the Hokage, Minato."
"I apologize, Kaigetsu-kun. I'll discuss this with the Third Hokage tomorrow and give you an answer." Minato said apologetically. "Let me cover the cost of this ramen."
He quickly finished the remaining ramen in his bowl.
Minato got up and walked towards Teuchi, the ramen shop owner.
"Boss, how much is it?"
"Oh, it's the Fourth Hokage-sama!" Teuchi, who was busy in the kitchen, greeted Minato with a cheerful smile. "Two bowls of ramen, a total of 120 ryō. Rounding it down, 100 ryō will be fine."
Minato nodded.
A bowl of ramen filled with toppings for only 60 ryō was truly a blessing in the shinobi world.
He was about to pay when Gojo Kaigetsu suddenly stepped forward, not to pay, of course.
"Say, Teuchi-san, if the meal cost 140 ryō, would you still round it down for the Fourth Hokage-sama?"
Teuchi was taken aback by the unexpected question.
However, he still waved his hand generously. "Of course! It's the Fourth Hokage-sama, after all!"
"Good."
Satisfied with the answer, Gojo Kaigetsu casually grabbed a bottle of iced soda priced at 20 ryō from the counter:
"Then add a bottle of soda, please. 100 ryō, Minato, pay up!"
Teuchi: "?!"
...
~Nightfall~
"Thank you for your hard work, President Gojo."
"Thank you..."
Samui responded numbly to the High Academy Publishing House employees.
Their gazes were filled with awe and respect. Although there hadn't been any official announcement, everyone privately acknowledged... Gojo Ai was Gojo Kaigetsu's woman!
Therefore, no one dared to offend her.
Samui rubbed her stiff shoulders, her steps heavy as she walked towards her small apartment.
She felt a tightness in her chest, a pent-up frustration weighing on her heart.
Her breasts felt sore, swollen, and heavy.
